As the NES began its march into obscurity, Taito released two solid titles that didn’t get their due attention for several years – Little Samson and Panic Restaurant. Both have great soundtracks, but they’re also nifty little games!

Even after Dave corrected Brett on how to say golem he kept saying gollum. Brett must have played a Dragon Warrior that has golems before seeing Lord of the Rings, but he’s stuck saying gollum for everything.

Some of these songs sound Bubble Bobbley, I wonder if this is considered Zuntata or if it’s something else? I always thought the music was the best part of Taito games.

I know this is a very music focused podcast, but anyone reading this do yourself a favour and google image search “Panic Restaurant” for it’s box cover art and “Little Samson” for it’s game screens, specifically for it’s (I’m assuming boss) sprites. Both are very wow for different reasons.
